Thank you. Thanks Carl.

Thanks. Thanks Mario.

Beautiful build Bob. Excellent work.

Another Vallejo Model Color user here. I use the black a lot for detail stuff. It brushes great and covers great even over other colors. And HL carries a good selection.

Looking good Bob. Nice job with the BMF.

Thanks David. Thanks Michelle. Thank you. Thanks Bob. Thank you. Thanks.

Thanks Carl. Thanks Joe. Thanks David.

Didn't come out as good as I wanted. Seems my last 3 or 4 builds start out ok, then go downhill during the final assembly. My builds from a year ago were looking much better. I've got to stop being impatient with my builds and do more prep work before I start putting things together. Anyway, this is painted with Testor's Gloss Blue Acrylic. Interior is a semi gloss black. I tried some weathering on the chassis, engine and the engine bay. I tried following the excellent tutorial by Steven in the tips section. There are some pics of that in my WIP. All comments are welcome, and thanks for looking.

Looks great. I'm building the same kit, but it's not looking as good. I over looked fitting the front and rear body panels before paint, and they do not fit well. The hood is also a bad fit. Mine is Testor's Gloss Blue acrylic. BTW, mine does have the Trans Am decals.

Got some detailing and weathering under the hood, and put on some decals.

Interior. Hard to see painted black, and those seatbelt decals got lost in it.

Thanks Carl. Thanks Jim. Thanks Chaz.

I try sometimes, but don't take a lot of time with it, rarely get one on.

They are a little slow on shipping. I live about 300 miles South of them and it takes 4 or 5 days. But they have good prices and reward points that can save you a few bucks also. I've ordered from them many times.

I gave this a try and although it doesn't look as convincing as Steven's, I'm happy with it.

Testor's Gloss Blue acrylic..........thinned 1:1 with generic lacquer thinner.

Thanks Carl.

Ok, not as convincing as Steve's, but I'm ok with it.

Engine and chassis ready to be weathered.

On the bench. I'm going to try and weather this one following Steve Guthmiller's excellent tutorial on basic chassis and engine weathering. I want it to look like a 70 model that has been driven and used, but having the exterior well taken care of. I will build the custom version and the paint will be some type of blue.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks Bob.

Great looking hot rod. Love the paint.

Nice. Great job.

Nice save on this one Bob. The red looks great. Looking forward to seeing the Nomad finished.

Calling it done. Thanks all for looking and commenting.
